I'd love to knit for profit, but in most cases, the pattern is under copyright protection....and in all cases folks can't pay what your time is worth.

Even designers are having a tough go of making a living off their incredible design talents.

I've often had people ask me what I'd charge to make something. I tell them that I don't charge for two reasons: 1) They couldn't pay me what an item is worth, money-wise, and 2) It would take the joy out of knitting the item in the first place.
